Dordogne - Bastides, chateaux and walnuts
... medieval castle, very dark and and severe. The village itself was where some of the movie, 'Chocolat' was filmed but sadly we didn't catch a glimpse of Juliette Binoche.
Despite visiting so many castles, chateaux and fortresses, we enjoyed every one and never felt ho- hum about any. Always, we were moved by the amazing feats of construction and the conditions the people experienced in their lives. I marvelled at every set of stone steps worn in the ...
